Best Practices for Terminating Cat5e Unshielded – Pass-Through RJ45
If using strain relief/boot, insert the boot onto the cable as shown.
Using the Adjustable Cable Stripper, strip back the cable jacket about
1.5inches (3.8cm)
Be sure not to nick the wire insulation. If you nick the wire insulation, cut
the cable off for all exposed wire cable pairs and re-strip the cable.
Trim off the “rip cord” at the cable jacket using Simply45 Flush Cutter.
Separate each wire pair by untwisting.
Hint: Use wire straightening comb on top of Adjustable Stripper for faster straightening and less finger fatigue.
Align wires according to Termination Pattern either Type A or Type B.
Hint: Hold wire so that the White Orange and Orange wires are closest to
you and put in wire pattern order 1-8.
Using a flush cutter, trim the wires straight across so all of the wires are
the same length.
Hold the RJ45 plug upside down (strain relief clip facing down). Insert the
wires into the back of the plug until they come out the front of the plug at
least % inch (1.27cm).
Push the plug as far down onto the cable until it stops inside the plug.
Hint: Be sure cable goes in as far as possible to minimize the exposed
untwisted wires inside the plug. Notice the wedge inside the plug stopping the
cable.
If using strain relief/boot, slide the boot up and into the back of the plug
until the boot clip covers the top of the plug clip.
Insert the plug into the crimping socket on the Simply45 pass through crimper.
Make sure plug goes completely inside the crimping socket.
With one hand, firmly without stopping, compress the crimper handles all the
way down in one steady non-stop motion.
The Simply45 crimper is a ratcheted crimper.
The crimper will not open up until the crimping process.
if the crimper handles do not release this means that you have not completed
the crimping cycle.
Simply squeeze the crimper handles further down until the crimper handles
release.
Then remove the terminated RJ45 plug from the crimping socket.
Quickly inspect that all wires have been closely trimmed to the plug in the
front.
Note: If you are experiencing wire trims that are not being trimmed flush to the plug, you may need to change your trimming blade as the blade may have become dull. Please follow blade changing instructions.
